I was REALLY bored yesterday and had too much time on my hands. I figured out that on April 10th of this year I was 500,000 hours old.

That gives me an appreciation of how large a number a half million really is.

To put it into a greater perspective, a second is a very short, almost unnoticeable period of time... if you added up ALL the seconds which I've been alive (to date) they would total 1,803,972,502.

1.8 billion .... its a number I almost can't imagine.



Anyway, if you're bored, here's a link to a calculator that'll give you the basic numbers for your age (all you do is simply type in your birthday): CLICK HERE

The link suggests I was conceived on the 4th of July, 1950. I looked up the weather records for that day... temperature was fairly normal for the time of year but the day had some light rain. Could it be that my parents were celebrating a national holiday with a bang ( ) or simply stuck home on a rainy night and bored?
